The Ravens signed offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom on Saturday, the team announced.
Noteboom spent his entire eight-year career with the Rams, playing at both guard and tackle positions. He has played 71 career games with 35 starts.
The Ravens added three offensive linemen in the draft, taking Emery Jones Jr. in the third round, Carson Vinson in the fifth round and and Garrett Dellinger in the seventh round.
Noteboom, 29, has a chance stick because of his versatility.
Jones and Noteboom will compete for the swing tackle job vacated by Josh Jones, who signed with the Seahawks.
Noteboom, a third-round pick in 2018, played only four games last season, spending part of the year on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
Free agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins is re-signing with the Seahawks on a one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
Hankins, 33, played all 17 games for Seattle last season, starting eight. He totaled 30 tackles, a sack and an interception.
He returns to the Sehawks for his 13th NFL season after four seasons with the Giants, one with the Colts, 4 1/2 with the Raiders and 1 1/2 with the Cowboys before joining the Seahawks a year ago.
In his career, Hankins has appeared in 169 games with 142 starts. He has recorded 433 tackles, 18.5 sacks, 52 quarterback hits 13 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
He entered the NFL as a second-round pick of the Giants in 2013.
Free agent offensive tackle D.J. Humphries is signing with the 49ers, his representation, AMDG Sports, announced on social media Tuesday.
Humphries signed with the Chiefs on Nov. 23, 2024, after recovering from a torn ACL late in the 2023 season. The Chiefs anticipated Humphries taking over at left tackle, but in his first game, which came in Week 14, he injured his hamstring.
Humphries returned in Week 18 to play 32 snaps, but he played no offensive snaps in the postseason as Joe Thuney moved from guard to left tackle. Humphries, 31, did play nine special teams snaps in the team’s first two postseason games. He did not get on the field in the Super Bowl.
The Cardinals made Humphries a first-round pick in 2015, and he made the Pro Bowl in 2021. He started 98 games in his nine seasons in Arizona.
The Browns have applied the seldom used unrestricted free agent tender to wide receiver Elijah Moore, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
This allows Moore to count as part of the compensatory free agent if he signs with another team before the compensatory formula deadline. Moore, who visited the Bills today, would make $3.428 million for 2025 on the one-year tender.
The Chiefs were the last team to use the tender, applying it to two players in 2022.
Moore spent the past two seasons with the Browns, and he set a career high with 61 catches last season and a career-high 640 yards in 2023.
The Jets made Moore a second-round pick in 2021, and he has 200 catches for 2,162 yards and nine touchdowns in his career.
The Browns signed free agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Monday after not drafting any receivers.
The Browns have agreed to terms with free agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.
Johnson visited the Browns earlier in the day.
He played for the Panthers, Ravens and Texans last season. Carolina traded him to Baltimore, which later cut him, and Houston claimed him. The Texans waived him in the postseason, and the Ravens claimed him in a move made for a possible compensatory pick in 2026.
In his first stint with the Ravens last season, Johnson refused to enter a game against the Eagles on Dec. 1, prompting Baltimore to suspend him a game and then move on from him.
With three teams in 2024, he caught 33 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns.
The Steelers made Johnson a third-round pick in 2019, and he has 424 receptions for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns. He earned Pro Bowls honors in 2021 with his lone 1,000-yard season and a career-high eight touchdowns.
Free agent linebacker Isaiah Simmons is signing with the Packers, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Simmons, 26, visited the Packers two weeks ago.
He spent the past two seasons with the Giants. In 2024, Simmons appeared in all 17 games, registering 21 total tackles with two passes defensed and a forced fumble. He was on the field for 17 percent of the team’s defensive snaps and 33 percent of special teams snaps.
Simmons can play linebacker, safety or the nickel, and he played 370 special teams snaps the past two seasons with the Giants.
The Cardinals selected Simmons eighth overall in 2020. They traded him to the Giants for a seventh-round pick in August 2023, and he re-signed with New York on a one-year deal last April.
In 84 career games with 42 starts, Simmons has tallied 21 passes defensed, five interceptions, nine forced fumbles, and 8.5 sacks.
Free agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson visited the Browns on Monday, according to the NFL’s transactions report.
Johnson has bounced around the league, on the roster of four teams in a calendar year.
He most recently was with the Ravens, who claimed him off waivers from the Texans in January for the possibility of a compensatory pick in 2026. He began last season with the Panthers, who traded him to the Ravens. The Ravens cut him, and the Texans claimed him Dec. 23 before cutting him during the postseason.
Johnson refused to enter a game with the Ravens against the Eagles on Dec. 1, prompting Baltimore to suspend him a game and then cut him.
With three teams in 2024, he caught 33 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns.
The Steelers made Johnson a third-round pick in 2019, and he has 424 receptions for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns. He earned Pro Bowls honors in 2021 with his lone 1,000-yard season and a career-high eight touchdowns.
The Saints agreed to terms with free agent defensive end Chris Rumph II on a one-year contract, the team announced Monday.
Rumph spent all of last season on the Chargers’ injured reserve list with a foot injury.
The Chargers selected him in the fourth round in 2021 out of Duke, and he spent his first four seasons with them. He has played 37 games, totaling 29 tackles, three sacks, four stops for a loss, one pass breakup, one fumble recovery and 10 special teams stops.
He is a core special teams player, having played 651 special teams snaps and 580 on defense in his career.
In four seasons at Duke, Rumph appeared in 36 games with 12 starts. He recorded 125 tackles, 17.5 sacks, 34 stops for a loss, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
The Cowboys, in need of a No. 2 wide receiver, had interest in Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan. The Panthers, though, drafted him four picks before the Cowboys were on the clock.
The Cowboys ended up not drafting a receiver, leaving them with a void at the position.
Todd Archer of ESPN reports the Cowboys had discussions with an AFC North team about trading for a wide receiver (George Pickens?). The sides, though, parted ways on talks as the draft began.
Dallas still needs to add a veteran wideout, and free agents abound. Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports there is “building team interest” in bringing back free agent Amari Cooper.
The Cowboys traded a first-round pick for Cooper in 2018, and he stayed until the 2022 offseason when the team traded him to the Browns for a fifth-round pick. Cooper now is a free agent.
In 56 games with the Cowboys, Cooper made 292 receptions for 3,893 yards and 27 touchdowns.
The Panthers had pre-draft talks with other teams about trading edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, David Newton of ESPN reports.
It is unclear where those talks stand now that the draft is into the third day, but it does cast uncertainty about Clowney’s future in Carolina. The Panthers have added edge rushers Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen since the draft started.
General Manager Dan Morgan twice was asked about whether Clowney is part of the team’s plans for 2025, and he was noncommittal.
“We’re still working through the roster,” Morgan said, via Newton. “We’re still talking through things. Obviously, we’re focused on the draft right now and what’s in front of us.”
Clowney, 32, is in the final year of a two-year, $20 million deal he signed with Carolina a year ago. He is set to count $13.775 million against the salary cap after having 5.5 sacks last season.
The No. 1 overall pick in 2014 has never had more than 9.5 sacks in a season and has only 58 in his 11-year career.
